Miss the Galaxy S25 Edge unveil? Watch the full reveal here

Official Livestream | Galaxy S25 Edge: Beyond slim | Samsung

Samsung has finally unveiled its thinnest-ever Galaxy S series smartphone, the Galaxy S25 Edge. The Korean tech giant introduced the new handset via an online video presentation that started at 8 p.m. ET on Monday, May 12.

If you missed the 14-minute presentation, you can watch it via the video player embedded at the top of this page. 

Led by Hubert Lee, head of Samsung’s mobile eXperience Design team, the video is as slick as you’d expect for a launch like this. “Slim, sleek, and lightweight, without sacrificing what you love,” Lee says of the Galaxy S25 Edge. The new handset is just 5.8mm thick and weighs 163 grams — compare that to the S25 Plus, which has the same 6.7-inch display size but a thickness of 7.3mm, while tipping the scales at 190 grams.

Digital Trends’ mobile specialist Andy Boxall has already had a chance to hold Samsung’s newest flagship, commenting that it’s “something special” and “looks unlike any other smartphone available at the moment.”

With the new phone, Samsung is targeting folks who prioritize portability, style, and premium design without sacrificing flagship-level performance. Bigger, bulkier phones can be quite literally a pain to handle for extended periods, so the Edge will definitely appeal to some people.

Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge is available in Titanium Jetblack, Titanium Silver, and Titanium Icyblue and starts at $1,099. It’s available from May 23, with preorders starting on May 13.

“Galaxy S25 Edge is more than a slim smartphone,” Samsung executive TM Roh said in a release. “The superior engineering that brought this revolutionary smartphone to life illustrates a commitment to overcoming barriers that helps Galaxy deliver truly unexpected premium experiences for people around the world.”

Roh added: “S25 Edge not only marks a breakthrough for its category, but it also accelerates important innovation across the mobile industry.”

Indeed, now that the Edge has landed, expect attention to shift once again to Apple’s expected iPhone 17 Air, the company’s own take on the slim flagship. How will it compete with the newly arrived Edge? Well, you’ll have to wait until the fall to find out, as then when it’s likely to land.

The Galaxy S25 Edge ushers in the era of the thin flagship phone

The era of the thin flagship smartphone has arrived with the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, a highly anticipated device teased earlier in the year with the rest of the Galaxy S25 range. Does it live up to expectations? We’ve held it already and were very impressed, but if you want all the spec details before diving into that, we’ve got everything you need to know here. 

The Galaxy S25 Edge is just 5.8mm thick and 163 grams, and therefore very different to the 7.3mm thick and 190 grams of the Galaxy S25 Plus, the model it’s otherwise closely related to, specs-wise. It shares the same 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED screen with a 1-120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 2,600 nits, but in a lighter, less fatiguing to hold package.

I’ve held the Galaxy S25 Edge, and I’m completely smitten

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge’s reason to exist is its thinness, so it really needs to be something special as otherwise, what’s the point in it being made at all? The great news is, it really is something special and it looks unlike any other smartphone available at the moment.

I fell for its lithe frame during my short initial time with the phone, but is the thinness enough to make it worth considering over another Galaxy S25 model? Here's my early impressions.
